The christofascists have succeeded in bullying the FCC (not that it took much) into taking the next step in defining the New Nanny State. The FCC is now apparently going after live broadcasts where someone uses a bad word from the crowd/audience because you know, no one has ever hear those seven little words before. Ever.

In its continuing crackdown on on-air profanity, the FCC has requested numerous tapes from broadcasters that might include vulgar remarks from unruly spectators, coaches and athletes at live sporting events, industry sources said.

Tapes requested by the commission include live broadcasts of football games and NASCAR races where the participants or the crowds let loose with an expletive. While commission officials refused to talk about its requests, one broadcast company executive said the commission had asked for 30 tapes of live sports and news programs.

“I don’t know how they are going to rule, but they asked us for tapes with a specific emphasis on crowd noise,” said another TV executive, who also requested anonymity. “If some bozo in the crowd calls the ref an a--hole, the commission is asking for a copy of the tape.”

I'm guessing that protesting outside the FCC headquarters playing Eminem might not get any news coverage, but I'm just guessing here.
